Configuring Prerequisites

The
installation of the server portion of the process requires that certain
prerequisites be installed. Although the Add Roles Wizard can be used,
as shown in Figure 9, it is easier to install everything needed from a script:

Take the preceding code and copy it in Notepad.exe. Save the file on the root of the C: drive and call it OCSPreReq.bat. The script running on the server can be seen in Figure 10. A reboot will be required when the script completes.
